Heres the symptoms…any suggestions?

Question:

Hi I’m not sure, but the first thing that came to my mind as I read your symptoms was hyperthyroidism – especially the pounding heart, sweatiness, panic, etc…..has your thyroid levels been checked?….does it run in your family? You might want to do a search on hyper or hypothyroidism and check out the symptoms. The only reason this came to my mind is that it does run in my family….please don’t be alarmed…it’s totally treatable if that’s what it is. But then after I read that the Sudafed makes you feel better…it could be some sort of congestion causing pressure on your eyes. Have you had a CT Scan?

The symptoms you mentioned sound like a carbon copy of me. All I can say is take an antibiotic for long enough to get rid of the symptoms or they will become chronic. You should have 5 great days on the appropriate antibiotic to know it is effective (at least according to one of my doctors. I haven’t had 5 great days in years, but have had some improvement after taking antibiotics, using the Grossan irrigator with Betadine, taking colloid silver, and some other nontraditional methods. I’m also trying lactoferrin now, which is supposed to have antibacterial properties. There are references to it in Medline. I’m beginning to think that once it becomes chronic, there’s not a lot that helps, so do everything you can to get rid of it now.

There may be a VERY SMALL chance that those symptoms could be related to central nervous system dysfunction. It’s barely possible, and not likely. (CNS) vasculitis is notoriously difficult to diagnose. Actually there are several autoimmune vasculitudes that sometimes affect the CNS. If nothing else turns up, you might want to see a neurologist with experience in CNS, or a rheumatologist with similar experience. Sometimes specific blood tests will reveal an autoimmune disease, and sometimes not.

WOW! I should let you go to the doctor in my place. I have had the exact same symptoms for going on 8 years now. I have been x-rayed, cat-scanned, bloodworked, yaddayaddayadda….. All they can tell me is : "You have classic terrible sinuses, and there is not much we can do about it" For me the feeling of dizzyness, and the "On another planet" feeling are the most bothersome, and it seems to be worse now in winter than in summer. Sorry to not have much help for you, but sometimes it helps to know you are not alone. Good luck, Paul

<snip> Yep, I have a lot of your symptoms too, on and off for the past 5 years or so. It sounds like you are also following exactly the same path as I did regarding diagnosis etc. Here in the UK, sinusitis is still not being treated properly and there is little by way of good info. given by Drs. with regard to symptoms which aren’t just nasal. Feel free to drop me a line if you want more info regarding treatment so far etc. Also, take a look at http://www.sinuses.com – a really good site which will give you a better understanding of what is actually going on!

I have had EXACTLY the same symptoms as you have, I have had them for just coming up to a year and I still have no idea what it is, my doctors have been no help, I have been to the hospital for god knows how many blood tests but still nothing….If anyone else has any ideas or might know exactly what the problem is (I assumed it was sinus problems, my doctor did originally too) then please let me know, I am in the UK too. — Byron Hinson Microsoft MVP ActiveWindows – http://www.activewin.com ActiveDVD – http://www.activewin.com/dvd Homepage – http://www.activewin.com/byron "Only Me" <reply…@group.please> wrote in message

To add the other post have you had your blood pressure checked. The Sudafed can cause some of these symptoms in certain people. Heather Collins UK Mikecheath…@oakwellmount.freeserve.co.uk Only Me <reply…@group.please> wrote in message

Hello all, I have been suffering from the following symptoms, with varied severeness for the past 2 months: – Dizziness (Which has subsided lately) – Blurred vision – Except close up – Tunnel vision sort of effect – Incorrect perception of depth (Feels that way, although I don’t actually ‘miss’ things, or walk into things, kinda like being in a room, which will seem bigger or smaller than It normally seems) – Feeling of being ‘On another planet’, ‘out of touch’ etc – Almost like life is going on around me like I’m watching TV (?) – Constant ‘nervous’ feeling, on edge etc – I’m normally quite a relaxed person, but have found myself grinding my teeth and ringing my hands. – Jelly legs and arms – Sort of ‘floppy’ feeling (?) although no lack of control, sometimes even typing can be a real effort – Mood swings, sometimes quite scary ones, as mentioned normally quite a relaxed, layed back person. – A couple of time, when stressed out for ‘normal’ reasons, have had sort of pounding in the eyes in time with my heart, and can see image of veins on my eye (Sorry – Difficult to explain! – Hope that makes some sense!) All this started about 2 weeks before Christmas, with the dizziness, which I noticed more and more, tried to ignore and keep working. I ended up having what my Dr described as a classic panic attack – Sweaty, Cold, Racing heart, pounding head and chest, dry mouth, dizziness, nausea. I had a week off work for this, which helped some way, since then I have been suffering all the above mentioned symptoms (On and off – more on than off though!) and have worked about 5 days since Christmas!) I have seen two Drs on four separate occasions now, originally diagnosed as Labyrinthitis, since been told its a viral infection, which will take some time to sort itself out. The last time I saw the Dr, he referred me to a Neurologist (Still waiting for an appointment) I have also booked an appointment with a dentist, as I haven’t seen a dentist for 8-10 years now, (Yes, I know, bad! bad! bad!) – I read somewhere that sinus’s can be effected/infected as a result of infected/rotten upper teeth – Maybe worth a shot? – And I have found taking Sudafed (Common treatment in UK for nasal/sinus congestion/catarrh) helps greatly, and I feel ‘almost’ normal! (But worried about taking these day in, day out for too long!) Has anyone suffered theses symptoms, or have any idea what the problem could be? Not that I don’t trust my Dr(s) Just rather worried and stressed about the whole thing, which I’m sure isn’t helping the actual condition. Any suggestions/theories/etc will be much appreciated! Keep smiling!
